Decision:
Councillor Craig Aston proposed that the following be added to the suggested reason for refusal ‘and the objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework and the principles of Planning Policy Statement 5 practice Guide’ .
This was seconded by Councillor Kosru Uddin and agreed by the Committee on a vote.
On a vote of 3 in favour and 0 against, the Committee RESOLVED:
That listed building consent and planning permission (PA/12/02317 & PA/12/02318) at Club Row Building, (Rochelle Centre) Rochelle School, Arnold Circus, London, E2 7ES be REFUSED for change of use from D1 (Non-residential institution) to mixed A1 (Shop), B1 (Business) and D1 (Non-residential institution) with the construction of an extension to rear, internal alterations (including installation of mezzanine floor space and new staircases), external alterations (including new doorways & windows & roof parapet raising & roof replacement) and alterations to Club Row boundary wall for the following reason:
The proposal, by reason of the loss of the original roof and other alterations resulting in loss of historic fabric, would detract from the unique historical importance of the building. The proposed roof and other alterations do not relate sufficiently well to the host building and fail to pay special regard to the desirability of preserving the building, its setting and features of special architectural or historic interest. On balance, the benefits of renovating parts of the building are not sufficient to outweigh the harm caused by the proposal.
The proposal is therefore contrary to saved policy DEV37 of the Unitary Development Plan (1998), adopted policy SP10 of the Core Strategy (2010) and policies DM24 and DM27 of the Development Management DPD (Submission Version 2012 with post EiP Modifications) AND the objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework and the principles of Planning Policy Statement 5 Practice Guide.
